There's no improv or comedy meetups listed there - however, if you have the time and feel comfortable doing so, you can always start one for the area to see what kind of interest develops.

Alternatively, if anyone in this group that lives northwest of Nashville feels comfortable hosting an improv night, Darin or I can help get it listed as an event here. We're always open to ideas on how to get more people involved!

This meetup is for anyone interested in learning and practicing improv. You don't need to be and actor or “funny” to benefit from this entertaining art form. This group is open to both beginners and seasoned improvisers. Not only is improv fun, it also improves social skills, builds confidence, enhances creativity, promotes mindfulness and more.

If someone tells you that you are a "purple donkey from the planet Fultron," accept it and hit all-fours. Add to it. Don’t deny anything a partner says.

2. Don’t Try to be Funny

Usually, it is the most mundane, random detail that gets the biggest laugh. Don’t force funny or it will show. In other words, there’s no pressure!

3. Make Your Partners Look Good

It’s not about you. Improv is about making the people around you look like comedic geniuses. In other words, there’s no pressure!

4. Commit

Whether you make a great choice or not, commit whole-heartedly during a scene. It’s just a choice. You really can’t mess up. In other words…

Speaking of committing: To help ensure everyone gets a chance to participate, we will limit each meeting to the first 12 people to sign up. Please, please, please commit to attending when you register so that someone doesn’t miss the chance to participate.
